Reload Rethinking Women + Cyberculture Hardcover - 2002

by 39 Plt


From the publisher

Most writing on cyberculture is dominated by two almost mutually exclusive visions: the heroic image of the male outlaw hacker and the utopian myth of a gender-free cyberworld. This text offers an alternative picture of cyberspace as a complex and contradictory place where there is oppression as well as liberation. It shows how cyberpunk's revolutionary claims conceal its ultimate conservatism on matters of class, gender, and race. The cyberfeminists writing here view cyberculture as a social experiment with an as-yet-unfulfilled potential to create new identities, relationships, and cultures.

First line

In 1998 the editors of this collection wanted to find an anthology of women's cyberpunk fiction for use in a cybertheory course and could not find one, despite the increasing number of women writing what can loosely be called cyberfiction-writing that explores the relationship between people and virtual technologies.
